What is the difference between repairing the automatic transmission in the dealer salon from the garage master

The machine as a second family, vsmysle expenses. But if the car is expensive, then with its serious breakdown, repair costs are equated with a large Indian wedding with elephants and about three hundred guests. Repair of the most expensive unit -Automatic gearbox in the dealer salon can cost almost a hundred and fifty thousand rubles. Although thistransmission can be repaired in a nearby garage for only 20-30 thousand rubles. At what, if you look, you can find it cheaper. So why such a difference in the price of repairing the automatic transmission?

The answer lies much deeper than a simple comparison: the dealer, (firm salon), and this is a self-taught master.

I know from the first mouth this "kitchen". The cost of repair consists of the cost of spare parts, which are used and the cost of the work of the master. Here are the differences between the Service Centers and the garage masters.

1. In the Service Center (SC) only original spare parts are used. None of the used, restored, contracted, after insured events, razbov, etc. The price is accordingly much higher. A plus. You pay for "Name", Brand, i.e. Partially cover their costs of promotion and PR.
2. In the SC most often do not do the repair of composite units, such as a torque converter, CVT (variator). But change it in collection. This, respectively, is also more expensive than rinsing and replacing a couple of bolts. Although the new is new, and the work of the master will not undermine: "All questions to the manufacturer ..."

In the rest, unfortunately, there are no differences. Repair cars are all the same students, and who is more experienced, he opens his garage workshop and tries to achieve a service scale.

Because of the high competition in this area, garage masters often use used and restored parts. Machines can go and with them, but that's the real guarantee of this spare part does not. There is a way out-to control the process of repairing your vehicle, but not every car owner has at that time, and desire. Simultaneously, not every master will allow to be present (interfere) at work. The approximate amount that the master will receive a job is about 10,000 rubles. All the rest, it's the cost of parts and cheating the owner. You paid 120 thousand? Hence 10 - the master, 15 - the details. And the rest - the owner of the firm. The more the repair firms in the area are, the less the cost of repairs. So, it is better to know in advance the best service for repair and go to the tow truck already there.

In Moscow, many companies, and not bad, which qualitatively make repair of automatic transmission. So to speak, the golden mean between the garage and the dealer. They can order, at your request, really original spare part and, even, allow to be present at the assembly of the car to personally verify this. However, the level of skill of the repair team is better to be learned through acquaintances and their feedback than on the fact of the breakdown of your car. Even with a long work record (5-10 years), a person can remodel a car 2-3 times. At what, the ability to correctly diagnose a not unimportant fact and to collect subsequently the correct gearbox, not forgetting that no detail is davolno difficult.

Conclusion: To choose you according to your wallet and life priorities? The quality or price, or even this and that is often ...
